Choosing a Color Palette

YOUR STYLE + YOUR WAY + TIP OF THE DAY

Choosing a Color Palette

The colors that you choose for your big day say a lot about you and your fiance. It sets the tone for your celebration and also gives your guests a true sense of who you are as a couple. Choosing a color palette that is "trendy" will make it easier to source what you need, such as linens, dresses, and accessories. But if you truly want to make the day YOUR STYLE, put some thought into the colors you surround yourself with every day. Here's a few questions that I ask my clients to really get them to find their color palette:

What colors are in your closet?

What is your favorite piece of artwork in your home?

What are your favorite flowers, least favorite?

What color/colors instantly make you feel happy?

These boards are not "wedding" inspired. My purpose here is to get you started thinking outside the "wedding box" when it comes to your color palette. It's very easy to get swept away by someone else's style when you start looking at wedding web sites. Just keep in mind that this is YOUR day, and it should reflect YOUR STYLE.
